Break out of overwhelm

Why this teleclass?

If you're a small business owner, you're probably inundated with messages from all over the internet.

And all the social media's not helping either - should you facebook, should you twitter, what should you do?

You're overwhelmed with everybody telling you what to do and and which system is the Next Best Thing to follow to make a gazillion dollars in a month :)

Instead of moving forward though, you feel so overwhelmed that you become totally paralysed with indecision.

On this teleclass you'll learn...

• how to recognise the symptoms of overwhelm
• what type of organising personality you are...and how to work with your style to get your focus back
  
• some of my favourite tools (practically free) that help me focus
  
• how to break out of overwhelm (when all the noise in your head gets too loud) by doing the absolute minimum you need to do to get you moving forward again
  
• how to eliminate info product overwhelm... so you know which ones to follow to get the results you want
  
• how to get your mojo back (in other words, get the confidence to quickly get you back on track)
  
• how to go from just a lovely idea to a project actually done and off that eternal to-do list

“I used to spend my days always working on email and never getting anything done. Thanks to Marcia's suggestions, I now can’t believe everything I get done in one day!

It’s allowed me to have a very successful business while working only 15-20 hours per week. I love that her techniques have given me the freedom to spend time with my sons and husband.

Thanks to her business organizing strategies I have doubled my productivity which has in turn doubled my business income. Thanks Marcia for all that you do!”

A cool timer - Journal feature in Outlook

I just wanted to quickly share something that's been working GREAT for me with keeping focussed while I'm working (and playing) on the computer.

It's the journal feature in Outlook.

All you do to activate it is click on the green Journal button to open. Then open a new Journal, and click Start Timer. Then the little clock starts ticking.

When I start blogging, for instance, I turn the Journal on and start the timer. The mere fact that that timer is ticking away keeps me on track and focussed.

Since I've started using this, I realised, for instance, that I write very quickly but it's the uploading of photos to blogger that takes all the time :)

I am getting a lot more done on project work because I know how much time I have allotted to do something, and so I just dive in and get it done.

It also gets rid of the perfectionism monster because I don't let myself waste time thinking about the perfect word; instead I just write from my heart and hope my readers get what I'm trying to say :)

And if you're competitive like me, you can make a game out of it - say, how many emails can you get through in 30 minutes?

Anyway, just thought I'd share.

I know that Suzanne uses the Journal to keep track when she's on the phone with a customer services rep. Oh my - if I did that yesterday, it would have racked up 48 minutes to Telkom to report the fault on our telephone line!

Does anyone else use the journal and HOW?

WAIT - before you go, please weigh in here too...

I'm of two minds as to whether or not I should participate in the bloggy giveaways thing next week.

Honestly, I don't know if there's any real purpose because (I may be wrong) it seems like it's just a "grab as much as you can" fest :) Hey - I love sales as much as the next gal!

But 1) you get a ton of traffic for 2 days and then back to normal 2) most people don't ship outside the US so I don't even bother to participate (except in the blog header competitions!) 3) I don't know if other businesses actually get an increase in sales?

I really would LOVE to know what you think, but especially if you have your own business, then please weigh in (you can stay anonymous if you want :))
